Check CygWin32 at http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32/ With CygWin32 you can do native Win32 GUI programs and you can port GNUish programs to nt also. I have heard that you can use DLLs (like DirectX) with it if you get some where import librarian tool. I have heard project name minimalist Win32 or something like that. This may be is answer to your problems. I think you can find all CygWin32 and minimalist Win32 stuff from www.cygnus.com or it's links. Eero.
